Application filed March 14,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Orro ll'msnnn, a. citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee. in the county of lllilwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes "Wringers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to clothes wringers and its general object is to provide a construction by means of Which the clothes are cilec-tively prevented from adhering to the rolls and winding about and becomingentangled with the same.

The invention consists further in certain details of construction and combinations thereof, which will be more particularly described in connection with the accompanying drawing and subsequently claimed.

ln the drawing,

F1 gure 1 represents a rear elevational View of a clothes ivringer, constructed according to my invention, a part being broken away and shown in section to better illustrate the construction thereof. 1

Figure'fz is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 5 designates a wringer frame, in which are rotatably mounted the rolls 6, the upper roll being journalled in blocks 7 which are slidably mounted in the sides of the frame, and yieldably held in their lowermost position by means of coil springs 8, one of which is used in connection with each journal block. Each of the sprin 8 engages at its lower end, an up standing boss or lug 9, which is secured to the block 7 and at its upper end engages a similar boss formed on the end of bracket 10.

Adjusting screws 11 are mounted in threaded connection with bushings 12 which are secured in the upper rail *of the wringer frame and at their lower ends engagein recesses 13, formed in the respective brackets 10, wherebythe screws may be adjusted to limit the extent of the upward movements of the brackets and thereby adjust the tension of the springs 8.

The brackets 10 are'seoured to and extend outwardly from the ends of a supporting bar 14; which, by reason of the springs 8, has a floating connection with the wringer fe.

Guides 15 are secured to the bar l l'and extend vertically downwardly therefrom, and thus form means for slidably receiving a brush holder 16, in the lower side of which suitable brushes 17 are secured. The movement of the holder 16 downwardly is adjustably limited by means of nuts or bolts 18 and between the holder and the supporting bar 1 1 these bolts are surrounded by compression springs 19 "which urge the hrushesdownwardly. The nuts on the bolts 18 will normally beadjusted so as to permit the brushes 1? to engage the upper surface of the roll 6 with sufticient force to detach anyclothes which may adhere to the roll and hagin a tendency to wind around the same. wringer frame in the usual position in rear of the lowermost roll 6 and sloping downwardly. and outwardly to deliver the clothes as they pass thru the rolls. in order to prevent any possibility of the clothes winding about the lower roll, a shoe 21 is provided with pins 22, which are reciprocably mounted in bushings 23 secured in the board 20 and suitable compression springs 24 are inserted in sockets 25 formed in the board and shoe. These springs hold the shoe constantly in contact with the lower roll and the i'ac of the shoe is preferably formed concave so as to closely engage the roll and to prevent any clothes winding therearound.

From the foregoing description, it willbe seen that I have provided a simple and practical construction which will eilectively prevent the clothes from being wound around the rolls and will cause the same to be properly delivered into the basket which will; be placed underneath the delivery board.

Although I have shown and described specifically one construction by means oil" which the invention may be carried out, it will also be understood that many minor changes may be made in the form and proportions of the several parts without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention which is defined by the claims hereunto appended.

I claim: 7 1. In a wringer, a pair of rolls between which the' clothes are fed, a vertically adjustable bar disposed thereabove, vertical ides depending from said bar, a brush holder slidably mounted in the guides and having brushes normally in contact with the upper roll, means for resiliently urging the elivery board 20 is secured to the illitl lliltl brush end holder downwardly and means for adjustobly limiting the downward movement thereof.

2. in o wringei', apztii' of rolls he- 5 tween which the clothes are fed, a, frame in which the rolls are journalled, a, delivery hoard secured to the frame behind the lower roll and sloping outwardly and downwardly,

4i shoe adapted to engage the roll and having memo? supporting pins slidohly mounted in said to hoard, wild means resiliently urging the shoe .into contact with the roll to strip the clothes therefrom.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing l have. hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in 15 the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
